Could be the stuff that goes along with beer. The dozen wings, large fries, bag of Doritos or potato chips. Or the fact that middle age men can't have a 5000 calorie a day intake, like a physically active 18 year old. (X-Box does not count for physically active)

"You are drinking it in more quantities than wine or liquor, so you tend to have more caloric intake," says Sohani. "You are talking about a difference between several hundred calories a night and a couple hundred." Follow the logic here

WinoRhino:CowardlyLion: Hang on--there are people stupid enough to think that in the first place? Please tell me there's at least heavy overlap between such a group and truthers.

My sister-in-law believes that (not sure about the truther stuff, though.) She's always talking about how she "lost weight" but "not from where she wants to." We tried to explain you can't lose weight from specific areas of the body but she insists she is somehow genetically predisposed to carrying extra weight in her face and stomach.
